Students who have completed the first year of full-time law study, or its equivalent in part-time study, and are in good standing at their current law school are eligible to attend any of Tulane's summer abroad programs. Students must supply a proof of enrollment letter from their current school verifying that they are in good standing and are eligible to return. Graduate students in other disciplines may apply and attend on a case-by-case basis. According to Louisiana Supreme Court MCLE regulations, practicing attorneys are eligible to claim six (6) hours of CLE credit for each hour of academic credit awarded by the school.

ABA regulations only allow students to receive credit hours according to the following formula: one semester hour for each 700 minutes of class time or equivalent. Also, ABA regulations prohibit students from receiving more than 1.5 semester credit hours for each week of the program, and students cannot be enrolled in more than 220 class minutes per day.

Are applications accepted until the program is full or is it selective?

Applications are accepted until the
program is full. Admission is on a first come basis, as long as students meet
the eligibility requirements. Thirty students will be accepted for Summer 2018
and we expect this program to fill up quickly so please apply early to ensure
your place in the program.

In order to borrow Federal Loans, you must be enrolled at least half-time. If you are enrolled less than half time, your only option for summer loan funding is a private credit-based loan.

Students who have not borrowed the annual $20,500 maximum limit for Federal Stafford Loans during the current academic year may inquire about borrowing Federal Stafford Loan funds for summer sessions. Students who have exhausted these Stafford loan limits during for the current academic year may be interested in pursuing the Federal Gradate PLUS Loan for the summer, which is a leniently-credit-based Federal loan with a set interest rate of 8.5%.

How will I know if I get in to the program? How long is the wait from when I apply to when I hear if I am accepted?

You will be admitted to the program, if space is still available, once your deposit has been received. You will receive a confirmation email from Mallory E. Asp, confirming your enrollment and your course selection, once you are admitted.

How do I switch courses from the ones I originally selected on my application?

You will have the opportunity to change your course selection when you arrive at the program. However, due to financial aid requirements, if you change the number of credit hours you plan to take, please complete the following form: http://www.law.tulane.edu/tlsabroad/abroadforms.aspx?ekfrm=16176. Be aware that if you receive financial aid for courses which you do not complete, your loan might be canceled or your loan amount might be billed back to you and returned to your lender.

visiting the Porter's office. Exams will be held on Saturday, July 28, 2018.

If you are flying into London-Heathrow or London-Gatwick on the day before the session starts, you can take a bus from either of these airports directly to Cambridge. The buses run frequently, about every hour or hour and a half and this is probably the easiest way to travel from the airports to Cambridge. In the absence of heavy traffic or road repairs, it should take about 2 to 3 hours. If you take the bus, you will arrive at the Drummer Street Station in Cambridge.
